cool, looks like you added some new livestock to the tank.

 

nice freshwater tank. are those rainbow fish i see with the angels? i tried to breed angelfish, but always ended up moving before the angels reached breeding size.

Yes, I did. I got a few coral, the small clown (there were two but that sixline is evil, tore the little things tell off) and a great new pump for my return from Quantum Reefs (thanks Vince and Steve). I will try and get a video of the plumping you see in the background. I am very excited about the tank because it has a lot of DIY that I have wanted to try on a tank but never did. The overflow is awesome.

 

Good eye, those are Peacock Rainbows. They do not get as large as the other Rainbows on the market. I have a mix of females and males. It is really cool watching the males display for the females. The Angels are for my wife ( she loves those things) I purchased three when they were the size of quarter from Pristine Aquariums. These two chased the third out of the tan so I am hoping they are male and female, but only time will tell.

 

Both tanks are coming along well, slowly, but well. Thanks for watching.

looking good Andre.

 

Thanks guys, I owe a lot to you and your help with the pump, fish, and the coral. Its not were I want it to be, but as long as you stay in business and I keep getting paid, it will get there. Quantum reefs is my choice for my aquarium needs...(sounds like I am ready for a commercial...lol)

but wait... there's more :-)

 

honestly, it's your dedication and passion that is making the tank look great.

maybe its time for you to put a large leaf or something similar to see if they will lay eggs.

 

I was thinking about the same thing, just not sure what to put in there or where to get it from. You have any suggestions?

Thanks for that, but I think the majority of us in this hobby would agree that behind any good aquarium hobbyist is a great LFS. For that,my hat goes off to you, Quantum Reefs. Keep up the good work.

a large vertical slate or a large artificial amazon sword works. you can also purchase a spawning cone which works for angels as well as discus fishes.

I just realized that I failed to give any specifics about the saltwater tank.

 

Mg- 1600 ppm

Alk- 10 dKH

Ca- 490 ppm

 

The tank:

30 gallons (36" x 18" x 12") with a wet/dry filter. ( I put rock rubble in place of the bio-balls)

The lighting:

6 x T5: 3 x 39 watt T5 HO 12,000K

3 x 39 watt T5 HO Actinic Blue

6 x Dual Blue Moon LEDs

 

I am consulting my LFS about housing SPS in the system. I am getting about 600 gph of flow thru the tank. I don't run a skimmer but I do a 5 gallon water change every other day.
